Global warming is a natural process. The burning of fossil fuels increases the rate that global warming will ocur; but even if the burning of all fossil fuels ceased global warming would not stop. The only way to stop the inordinant amount of hurricanes (and eventually the next ice age) is to make the planetary climate colder. As yet, I know of no way to do so.

Give me a freaking break. Naturally, it takes thousands of years for global average temperatures to raise by one or a few degrees, long enough for wildlife and nature to adapt. But yet with the industrial revolutions and huge amounts of human-wasted CO2, we manage to raise unnaturally the global temperatures by the same amount in only half a century. Wildlife and nature don't have time to adapt to this. Give me a fucking break with global warning being a natural process, it's not an excuse because 50 years and 1000 years makes a HUGE difference when it comes to +1 degree.

i think the whole mess i slargely because the fuckwits at the top all think they're going to get 'raptured' so they really don't give a dead rats ass what happens to ol' momma earth..
i've said it before and i'll say it again.. can we have the rapture now please and get rid of those fucks..

You were speaking in absolute terms. Industry exponentially increased the rate of warming, yes, but even if all industry stopped global warming would still exist. There would not be any global cooling. As for adaptation, nature THRIVES on higher temperatures and larger amonts of CO2. Not good for animals, VERY good for plants. And if plants do well the rest of the ecosystem soon follows. The problem is when the global temperature is so high that arcitc ice melts and flows into the gulf stream. This rapidly lowers the global climate temperature and causes an ice age.

Sure, scientists go in a lab and perform a global warming experiment. But that's just it--there in a lab. You can create an example of G.W. and use ozone in a lab, but how can you create a copy of the earth's ozone layer? By making a model of the ozone layer and subjecting it to what we think causes Global Warming problems (CFCs, CO2, etc), do you think it is 80% accurate? Can they take into account every single volcano that erupts? (underwater, above, etc) The variables they use in a lab are only the ones they know about, and the ones that they can manage to recreate show the "effects" of global warming.

do you enjoy electricity? do you enjoy driving? would you really like to just shut everything down because scientists think that America is destroying the ozone layer and causing 10% of the global warming? Even if it "continues rising" and gets to 15% in 100 years, that's only 0.0005% of rising each year. So in my 27 years of existance, the average temperature has gone up 0.0135%, and i'll probably die before it hits 4% if it even does.

Also, take into account WHERE the temperature are taken. A temperature taken from a wide open field is generally lower than a temperature taken from Los Angeles, New York, etc. When taking a temperature, take it away from buildings - they radiate heat and affect temperature readings.

Without global warming, earth's average temperature would be 0 degrees. No one can live at 0 degrees.

Dude, have you ever heard of the theory of relativity.. E=MC2.. You think Einstein proved that in a fucking LAB??

CO2 DOES cause global warming and there's no arguing on that. Billions of tons of CO2 produced does have an effect. You DON'T need a lab to figure that out.

And you think temperatures are taken right beside BUILDINGS? Do you really think that scientists didn't ALREADY think about it? Maybe you should go tell them, cause they didn't already figure it out.

"Without global warming, earth's average temperature would be 0 degrees. No one can live at 0 degrees."
Once again, you sound like a fucking tool. Without Global Warming, earth's average temperature would STAY THE SAME. It would raise by 0 degrees every year, but it wouldn't be 0 degrees.

Yes, I like electricity and driving, and guess what, you don't need to pollute to have both. There's tons of ways to produce electricity, you don't have to burn COAL. And hybrid cars are being more and more developped and produced.
